InMotion hosting has a solid performance for its higher value plans, but for shared hosting, InMotion will not be a better option while comparing to Bluehost and Hostgator. They are trying to improve their performance in recent years by upgrading the equipment’s and services, but in 2017 InMotion hosting is high priced than its competitors.

If you are not worried about paying a high price for lower plans, with minimum features, you can opt for InMotion hosting. If you want cheap and best hosting for your website, fastcomet or hostgator will do the best job for you. You can get many offers by using some promo codes too.
